Supervolcanoes Past & Present - Marie D. Jones & John Savino ((Classic))

Date: 09-18-07
Host: George Noory
Guests: Marie D. Jones, John Savino

Authors Marie D. Jones & John Savino (who are father & daughter) discussed the history of catastrophic supervolcanoes, and the possible locations where they could occur again. Supervolcanoes are associated with certain calderas around the planet, and when they erupt, the amount of material they spew far surpasses a regular volcano. The study of these massive volcanoes is relatively new, said Salvino, who noted that Cambridge Univ. has found 42 occurrences of them in the last 38 million years. There is a possibility that ones not yet identified could suddenly erupt.

Jones spoke about the Toba supervolcano which erupted 74,000 years ago in Sumatra. The massive amounts of ash brought about an ice age, and nearly made extinct the human/Neanderthal population of about 100,000. Ash, which contains small shards of glass, causes suffocation and internal bleeding, she explained. The remaining population, heavily reduced in numbers, was forced to rapidly differentiate in order to survive, she suggested.

If the Yellowstone caldera erupted (as it did 640,000 years ago) the ash fall would extend all the way to the East Coast, agriculture in the Midwest would be destroyed, transportation would be halted, and up to 2/3 of the population could die, Salvino outlined. Another supervolcano in the U.S. is in Long Valley, CA-- it last erupted some 760,000 years ago, but could be triggered to blow by a giant quake in Southern California, he warned.

20 Facts About The Collapse Of Europe That Everyone Should Know, January 8, 2013

America is in worse shape than Europe , The dollar has devalued 60% since Nixon took it off the gold standard. If you don't think so, check out 5 lb bags of sugar that used to sell for $.49, cars that used to sell for $4,000 brand new, etc. Like the Federal Reserve, the rejection of the gold standard was a major coup for the big banks, currency exchange pirates, and other blood-sucking opportunists. The American middle class has steadily lost its purchasing power, and now teeters on the brink of permanent relegation into poverty !

Alex Jones calls Glenn Beck a sack of Garbage and Challenges Piers Morgan to 2nd Debate

Alex Jones knows that acting "civilized" in an argument with a tyrannical force is not how you achieve anything. The Americans have all been made pussies by your society. Was George Washington acting civilized when he fought at Valley Forge? Was he sitting in a chair speaking in soft tones about logic? De-pussify yourselves americans. You have no idea what it means to be American.

Piers Morgan's Anti-2nd Amendment Argument Completely Destroyed in Reality Check

Despite America being the #1 personal gun owner in the world. It is #28 on the WORLD gun homicide list. WHAT? oh Mr Morgan its 59 gun crimes in the UK in 2011 not the 35 you were stating. UK don't have guns. But they have the 2nd overall crime rate in the EU. UK has the 5th highest robbery rate. 4th highest burglary rate. more importantly the EU named Britain as the most violent country in the EU. They don't have guns so how is this possible Mr Morgan. remember not all crime is related to guns!
